Hi Paul, You have indeed to use a link for the iPhone to detect and play the video. It can be an image linked to your video file as am alternative to the embedded video, which the iPhone cannot play from within the page.
You got a "can't be played" message, this usually means your file is not compatible with the device, which complies to a narrow range of mp4 spec. Does it play when you load it via iTunes ?
